I have to say these cakes are blooming! Not because of flavor, albeit the Belgian chocolate cake is…read morequite rich, but because of how their cakes look. Many of their cakes have been detailed with flowers, such as roses and daisies. They also feature other designs, but I think the spring weather called for a bit of floral. They don't operate a store-front, because they make custom creations. I was lucky enough to come upon them at the Carp Farmer's Market. They encourage you to contact them by phone or email and are willing to accommodate last minute requests (within reason). They also do wedding cakes! These cakes are beautiful and taste delicious as well!

They have a good offering of cake slices (you can also order a whole cake), pastries, cookies, marshmallows, lollipops, and even sandwiches. I got a slice of the Mille-feuille ($7.50) and it was heavenly. It was so rich and creamy. Really delicious! I would definitely get it again. Although I also want to try the honey pistachio cake, which they didn't have on the day I went. Staff were friendly and I appreciated that they gave me time to look around (and snap pictures for y'all, lol) on my own, instead of staring at me like at some places, haha. I'm not a huge fan of the pastries set-up as it's serve yourself in open baskets/trays and feels less sanitary, but at least cakes and squares are behind glass, and the sandwiches are even individually wrapped. Marshmallows and cookies are also packaged. I'm definitely looking forward to trying more cakes here! Free parking is available in the shared parking lot for the strip mall.

What a cute little shop! They sell cookies, cakes and meringues, and also greeting cards, hair…read morescrunchies, stickers and keychains. I got a bag of meringues. They were $8 for a bag of 12. All the flavours looked good, so it was a difficult decision which to get, but I finally decided on the strawberry and banana, mainly because it meant I could try two different flavours in one bag, lol. They were tasty, but very sweet, although that's to be expected for meringues. The banana flavour was subtle but I liked that it didn't taste too artificial. Same with the strawberry flavour, which was still subtle, but more pronounced than the banana flavour. Again it didn't have that overwhelming artificial taste, so I appreciated that. I've had their sugar cookies and they are very buttery and rich tasting. Something unique they have is DIY paint-it-yourself sugar cookies. The kits are so cute, and everything in the kit, except for the paint brush, is edible. They are $9 each. This would be a great gift for kids. Staff were pleasant and patiently answered all the questions I had. Street parking only.

So many cute options...Different Eevee evolution cookies, cookies with Mario Bros. characters... I purchased a "Shy Guy" cookie (vanilla) for my son and a Gengar cookie (Fruity Pebbles) for myself. I found that the vanilla cookie was a little bland, not much of a vanilla flavour. However, the Fruity Pebbles cookie tastes just like the cereal and is more flavourful. I also bought a Red Velvet mini-cake. Red Velvet is my favourite cake flavour and this one did not disappoint. The cake was moist and the cream cheese buttercream frosting was one of the best I've tasted! The mini-cakes are perfect for sharing (I was kind and shared with my husband), or devouring one on your own!

There is daily flavor and weekly flavor, so each day is a different selection! Tried the chocolate chocolate one. It was fluffy and light like a cupcake should. Moist where it count, the icing was tasting just enough, no sugar rush or left over sugar/alternative tasting. Everything was perfect. My girlfriend also took a peanut butter late. It come hot but she ask to have ice in it so it'll be cold (hot day). She really liked it. All in all, I recommend visiting this place if your craving some cupcakes the price is good for the quality of the food.

We had the turkey sandwich for lunch with lavender lemonade.. the sandwich was great but I'd rather they don't grill it with the lettuce in it (got cooked lettuce) and add the lettuce later. Lavender lemonade was very refreshing ( maybe add a little more lavender) and then we ended with pomegranate cheese cake which was light and tasty. We enjoyed our time it was quiet.. and would definitely come back again

TL;DR/The Short Version: Cute Persian bakery/cafe in…read moreWellington West. Pastries were tasty and not too sweet, just a bit small in size, lol. The Long Version: My husband and I popped into Lavender Pastry on a cold snowy day in March to warm up and have a little treat. It opened around Christmas of 2024 in the space that used to be Numetrica, an accounting firm. We've walked passed it many times since then. I'm glad we finally decided to give it a try. My husband got a decaf coffee ($3.99) and a Chocolate Swiss roll slice ($5.19). I got something called a Persian Creamy Puff Pastry ($2.29). My pastry was 2 tiny puff pastry discs with cream piped in the centre. It had a single pomegranate aril placed on the cream with a sprinkling of pistachio dust around the aril. It was very pretty. The puff pastry was soft and not as flaky as I anticipated but it was still good. The cream was light and airy and the entire pastry wasn't too sweet, which I appreciated. It was about the size of a French macaron. I had a taste of my husband's Chocolate Swiss roll slice and it also wasn't too sweet. The cake was soft and fluffy and the cream was light and airy. It was tasty, but I found it on the small side, especially for the price. Good for portion control, I guess, lol. My husband enjoyed his coffee. The bakery/cafe is very cute and cozy inside. It's small with not too much seating though. Staff were pleasant. Street parking only. Review #64 (2025)

However, they…read moreare on Elgin Street and we are in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic, so I need to remember not to compare it to all the places in Toronto where I would get my deals during better times. Truth be told, I did not buy the baked goods for myself, I promised my husband that I would treat him to some snacks for accompanying me to sketchy parts of town to run some errands, lol. So I got the items for him ;) He picked out a Chocolate Banana Croissant ($3.50) and a Chocolate Cheesecake ($3.75). The Chocolate Cheesecake was tiny for the price. It was in a small paper muffin liner, and was shorter than the liner. Like it was literally one-and-a-half bites. I didn't have any, because it was so tiny. The hubster said it was good, but it tasted like it either hadn't set yet or was undercooked as it was still runny. The Chocolate Banana Croissant was much better in my opinion and it was a normal size. It was a croissant with real bananas inside and then covered in chocolate. I had a bite and I liked it. They also sell savoury items like ham and cheese croissants, but they ran out when we were there, which disappointed me because I wanted something savoury. Staff were very friendly and courteous. I like supporting small independent businesses, especially during this time (Covid-19 Pandemic), so if I find myself in the area, I will likely pop in to see if they have any savoury items left, or I will try another sweet item. The bakery is on Elgin, so street parking only.
